The Daily Mail reported Wednesday on a plot by a group of military officers and civilian Pentagon staff to force Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth out of office through a public pressure campaign based on a letter signed by Pentagon insiders.
Citing the usual deep state concerns about Hegseth’s leadership, priorities and performance, three of the coup plotters spoke on background to the Daily Mail about the scheme (excerpt from long detailed article):
Three Pentagon officials — two military and one civilian, and each with at least 20 years in the department — spoke on the condition of anonymity.
…The three Pentagon officials we spoke with told us that a small group of their colleagues — including officers from all military branches except for the Coast Guard — and some civilian workers met at a private home in May to discuss how to get the word out about what they view as Hegseth’s incompetence.
They agreed the message would be stronger coming from current rather than retired DOD personnel.
Attendees jointly decided to give themselves a few months to agree on the wording of a joint letter that they would either send to the news media, run as an ad in a major newspaper or launch online via social media or a newly created web site.
They set a deadline for mid-July — this week — to finalize the letter so it could be made public by next Friday, the 25th, which marks Hegseth’s half-year in office.

You are absolutely right about Kristin Taylor. He was heavily invoked in the “March for Justice”. He is well-connected and I’d be shocked if he didn’t get his information from a Pentagon insider. Based on that likely fact, I’m pretty sure Kristin can get the names of the conspirators to Hegseth.
I expect those individuals to be fired and maybe prosecuted in the near future.

Simple cure for this:
Modify the Test for Espionage and Counterintelligence polygraph examination. And watch the retirement papers get submitted.
Does Pete or The Stable Genius have the courage or the brains to...at the very least... FIRE ALL OF THEM AND ELIMINATE ALL RETIREMENT AND PENSION $$$?
(What might they be planning ...that a loyal pro-Trump SecDef might pose a problem for them?)
A coup!
(The writer a former freeper isn’t one for lying)
True! I’ve heard nothing but good things about him.
Hegseth, being the SecDef, is over the Pentagon, yes? And as such, he answers only to the President of the United States, yes?
I kind of don’t think he’s the sissified kind that lives in fear that people will say mean things about him or make faces at his back.
“officers from all military branches except for the Coast Guard — and some civilian workers met at a private home in May”
Geofencing can identify this group in a week, I’ll bet — as long as they had their cell phones with them.
Is it mutiny? Sedition?
Right. Kristinn is almost always right on. Has he ever been wrong, really?
We need their ID’s. Start with that.
We need their ID’s. Start with that.
You mean on Drudge Report? He hasn’t been with that for at least five years.
Very good news...
Get these communist supporters out into the open and hang’em all...
How would we get their IDs if we don’t know who they are?
Geofencing could identify them by finding a lump of their cell phones together at the same location sometime in May. It would be a query on their cell data.
It’s how the deep state identified J6 people, and how ballot box stuffers were identified in the 2020 election.
50 years ago they would have to answer two questions:
Cigarette?
Blindfold?
“”A coup!””
I sure as hell wouldn’t put it past them at this point in their desperation. And that is, after all, how commies roll.
We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs gentlemen!!
Hegseth may have gotten wise to them,
He recently appointed someone he can trust to a new DOD position, responsible for overseeing and judging all senior uniformed and civilian personal promotions and assignments.
